Fast travel is a great way to speed up monster hunts. After all, launching a quest from a pop-up camp in Monster Hunter Wilds is much faster than riding your Seikret all the way from Base Camp.
However, not all pop-up camps are created equal. While some areas have plenty of them, most are either poorly secured or dangerously exposed, making them easy targets for monster attacks. And let’s be honest – no matter how fast you drag your sweet character and palico there, a Chatacabra or Quematrice can wipe it out in seconds.
In this guide, I’ll show you where to find every pop-up camp in Monster Hunter Wilds, with a special focus on the safest ones.
